Hey Gents and Ladies,

After searching forever for what I want to with my
life (even though im only 21) i kind of think im going
to fully focus on a career in IT. Im currenty trying
to work out whether I want to self study an a+
course or invest in one of the many course providers
around. Hoping you guys can help in my decision to
be honest... I probably just need a kick up the asre.

Anyway glad to be here

Sean

The A+ is certianly the place to start for people looking to lay the foundations,for a career in IT.

As for self study Vs Training Provider,thats just down to personal choice.

I will say this though.I am currently with a training provider,whilst i have no gripes against them,what im basically doing is self study on my own from home,(i've just paid more cash for the privalige).

Yes i have some tutor support there if needed,but with great forums like this one around all the help is here if needed(and for free)

Grab yourself the Mike Meyers book,an old PC or two to get some hands on with and away you go.

Focus on one Cert at a time,and most of all have fun while you learn.

 

Ditto all of the above. And welcome

 

Got to go with the above!

I'll just add though that with a training provider you 'may' be given deadlines to meet. This means that if you want to get what you've paid for then you may just get that kick up the a$$ you've been looking for.

It all depends on weather or not you are able to motivate yourself to work.



Oh, Welcome BTW!
